Hi Folks,
According to the unofficial weather station outside our cabin today was the hottest day since we have been in Tasmania with a maximum of 30C. This ties in pretty well with the official 29.4 in Hobart. We actually had a few drops of rain first up this morning but the clouds soon gave way to sunshine before it clouded over in the afternoon. The other observation of note was there was very little wind all day.
Ann headed out this morning and returned with a trailer load of sheep manure plus 2 wwoofer's, Teresa and Brett. While she was away we were digging weeds from the beds to be fertilised. The many hands had the fertiliser spread quickly. With no breeze and lots of humidity i worked up a good sweat.
After carting some compost and creating a garden bed we had lunch. After lunch it was time to plant out vegetable seedlings. I managed to up end one of the styro foam boxes of seedlings fortunately the damage was light. The bulk of the seedlings planted i adjourned at 4 to remove the roof bag and perform some preventative maintenance on the roof rack. With the bag off i was able to wash the roof properly. I didn't get around to polishing it.
Susan is now trying to work out flights to Newcastle as here sister is flying her there and back to help her pack up house since they are moving overseas This has thrown a bit of a spanner in the travel plans so we will work out what to do in the next couple of days. She will leave approximately on the 12th and return approximately on the 24th. I could be deceased after 12 days of my own cooking!
Anyway off to bed i have to be up early to take the Paj to Hobart for the big service. Won't be much change out of $800.
Night folks
Simon
